Treasure. What counts
is the love and respect for the songs and their histories presented by
the
expert who has essentially been there, done that. Anyone who is Irish,
part
Irish, wished they were Irish or just likes to hear and know more about
Irish
songs and history is strongly advised to get this CD”
"This is a striking CD – part
documentary,
part entertainment
– featuring only the voice of the storyteller and traditional
singer
Paddy
Graber. Producer Stewart Hendrickson has done a splendid job of
arranging
Graber’s incredible store of tales and songs, so that listening
to the
whole CD
is a seamless experience: like listening in the most intimate club, or
at a
friend’s fireside." Mary
DesRosiers, SingOut! Vol. 48 #3, Fall 2004 “It’s a great pleasure to hear
the CD which
includes some of
my favorites and some new treats too. Stewart Hendrickson is to be
congratulated on recording this material so well; the disc offers
‘a
sample’,
and I trust more is on tape to be issued. Paddy Graber’s
repertoire has
been
astonishingly diverse and eclectic, with little (or large) variations
from
standard versions, besides sometimes being apparently unique; and the
songs he
has himself composed are ofttimes delightful – as witness his
contribution to
Easter mythology, ‘The Hen that became a Hare’.”  Available from CDBaby
